The data from Bitcoin‘s blockchain indicates that the urge to sell from miners and long-term investors has decreased, which might be a good sign for the cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin LTHs Stop Selling, While Miner Distribution Slows Down
As per James Van Straten’s post on X, it is the long-term holders (LTHs) and Bitcoin miners who have been selling large amounts of BTC, causing a considerable drop in the market.)
Investors who have possessed their coins for over 155 days are labeled as Long-Term Holders (LTHs). Known for their steadfastness, these investors seldom dispose of their assets, even amidst market turbulence.
Despite initially holding onto their coins during this year’s record-breaking rally, some investors were eventually tempted to sell and collect the substantial gains they had accrued throughout their extended ownership period.
As reported by Straten, the selling activity from institutional investors has decreased in recent times. The Low-Time-Frame Holders (LTHs) have remained stable over the past few weeks, indicating that the Bitcoin market is currently ranging. This is a positive sign suggesting that the profit-taking trend may be coming to an end.
Instead of the LTHs (Large Token Holders) ceasing their selling activities, the miners, acting as another significant supplier of tokens for sale, have persisted in distributing recently. However, the selling pressure from the miners seems to have decreased, based on the chart below.
The graph illustrates the monthly net income changes for miners as a group. Starting in November, this group shifted from being buyers to sellers and continued selling at a steady pace through the following months. Consequently, their monthly net income changes remained largely negative, indicating consistent selling, with notable red values on the graph.
In recent times, nevertheless, the metric has shown an uptick, even though it remains below zero. The most recent figure is one of the least negative values since the selling spree started, with miners disposing of only around 1,300 Bitcoin over the past month.
The analyst proposes that this particular mining group might soon start accumulating more Bitcoin than they’re selling off, due to the impact of the Bitcoin network’s halving event. During this process, less efficient miners are pushed out of the market, leading to reduced supply being offered for sale.
Miners earn block rewards for successfully adding new blocks to the cryptocurrency network, which is a major source of income for them. These rewards undergo a reduction, called halving, roughly every four years. The most recent halving happened not long ago.
After the selling from these two groups, who had been offloading their Bitcoin holdings frequently, has decreased, Bitcoin might be able to recover some of its previous bullish momentum.
